I was more thinking of the big three or perhaps two and a half, US, Russia and China. Iran seems to be holding its own at the moment but the situation in Yemen is very bad with a Cholera outbreak due to starvation and lack of medicine.

Yemen is one of the poorest country in the world. Around 80% of the food they need is imported with a population estimated to around 25 000 000 people. The country has a border to Saudi in the north, Oman to the east, and surrounded by the sea controlled by the US navy.

The Saudi/US coalition is targeting bridges and infrastructure leading in to the the country, bombing water towers and farms to destroy food production, fishing villages and boats. The plains doing the bombing needs refueling midair and this "gas station" is supplied by the US as I understand. There are now 18 000 000 people there in desperate need of food and water.

Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia has led US-backed military intervention in Yemen aimed at reinstating Hadi, who lives in exile in Riyadh, and countering the advances of the Iran-backed Houthi forces.

Last October, the Saudi Arabia-led coalition bombed a funeral hall in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, killing and wounding hundreds of people.

“The scene was catastrophic,” one survivor told me. “Beyond what I can explain to you or describe ... There were burned bodies and dead bodies all over the hall.”

Soon after that unlawful bombing, the Obama administration suspended the sale of nearly $400 million in weapons to Saudi Arabia.

It was a recognition, a long time in coming, that the coalition’s military campaign in Yemen had devastated the country, killed thousands of civilians and brought it to the brink of famine.

Donald will make America GREAT again, with $110,000 million in weapons to Saudi Arabia

That link is bullshit. It wasn't "soon after", it was over 2 months later.

Assuming, very roughly, that they need 1 million dollars to kill one of their Yemenite enemies, then the Saudis will be able to kill 110,000 thousands of them. Isn't that GREAT news, America? Jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs

Well, that 71 year 'Saudi/US' relationship is news to me - I suppose it never interested me

There's a doccie on the Saudi 'royal' family on uTube, and it looks more like a 'Who dunnit Loving'Buuut you have to think...

The Saudi's look after their own (who doesn't), They make $$$ from oil, anywhere they can find it.They're Muslim, but not fanatical.. they have enemies = the fanatical muslims.. and friends = USA/UK = perfect combo.

So Saudi is the US's Muslim arm in the Middle East OR the US is the Saudi's Western arm.. makes sense

Trouble is with that view that the Saudis promote the Wahabi viewpoint over all other Muslims and are funding terrorists in Iraq, Libya, Syria and the Yemen that happily kill other Muslims, Christians, Yadizi and anything else that varies from their own viewpoint. With the backing of western and gulf governments, they have massacred their way through villages across Iraq and Syria leaving a trail of atrocities in their wake, trashed Palmyra after selling anything they could from there.

They in fact have an air force, the "Islamic State Air Force" is manned by the collection of western countries who supply the aircrafts, pilots and munitions to "accidently" bomb the Syrian army and to break up any chance of a working peace in Syria. That oil and gas off the coast of Syria must have massive potential if the west, Israel and the gulf countries all want their finger in the pie.

This is very interesting.Trump reportedly asked top US intelligence officials to publicly deny collusion between his campaign and Russia

Gets even more interesting. Senior White House officials also spoke to top intelligence officials about the possibility of the White House directly intervening in the FBI's investigation, officials told the Post.

"Can we ask him to shut down the investigation? Are you able to assist in this matter?" a White House official asked, according to one intelligence official.

Ja.. all it takes is the fighting parties to sit around the table and exclude everyone else.It is simple, and people will say.. Oh no it's too complicated - that is BS, and an excuse not to do so, and have an alternative agenda.

Once the table is set up, the US and USSR will have no one to sell their weapons to.. that will upset them So they can then sell their weapons to another undeveloping 3rd world country

It's always been hinted at that the USSR ans US are colluding in the Middle East... way back since Bush was there.BA was part of this and now DT.

Those little media spats between them, is just smoke and mirrors for the benefit of the gullible.
